J.URBAN I SHAVING MIRROR Filed Dec. 8, 1922 Patented Nov. 6, 1923.

FATEE JOHN "URBAN, F NEWARK, OHIO.

SHAVING MIRROR.

Application filed December 8, 1922. Serial No. 605,550.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, JOHN URBAN, a citizen of Poland, residing at Newark, in the county of Licking and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaving Mirrors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates generally to mirrors, being intended more particularly for application to mirrors intended for shaving, the invention having particular reference to the mounting of the mirror.

The invention has for an object to provide a novel shaving mirror adapted to be mounted on a wall or other support, and capable of various adjustments for the convenience of the shaver.

F or further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. l of the drawings is a face view of my improved mirror.

Fig. 2 is a top edge view.

Fig. 3 is arear view, showing only a portion of the support.

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary sectional View showing the means for limiting the swinging movement of the mirror.

My improved mirror comprises a support in the form of a bracket adapted to be secured as by screws 11 on a wall 12 or other surface. Formed integral with this bracket is a pair of vertically spaced lugs 13 to which a vertical rod 1-1 is secured at its ends. Mounted on this rod are a pair of collars 15 to which a horizontal lazy tongs element. 16 is attached at one end.

At its opposite end this lazy tongs element 16 is attached to a pair of collars 17 on a second vertical rod 18. The lower collar 17 may be fixed to its supporting rod 18, the upper one being slidable. The rod 18 is fixed at its ends to a pair of lugs 20 adjustably mounted on an arcuately formed rod 21, the lugs 20 having suitable apertures formed therein through which the rod 21 passes freely, set screws 22 being threaded through the lugs to fix the same in adjusted positions on the rod 21.

The rod 21 is fixed at its ends to a framering 23, the rod being concentric to the ring and arranged in a plane parallel to the ring and slightly behind the latter. WVithin the ring 23 a circular mirror 24 is pivotally mounted, the mirror being shown with trunnion elements 25 engaging in bearing elements 26 formed in the ring 23.

To effect an automatic adjustment of the angle of the mirror 24 I provide the following means: The trunnions 25 project through the bearing elements 26, the lower trunnion having fixed thereon an arm 28 to which is attached one end of a cord 29 whose other end is attached to an eye 30 on the bracket 10. Fixed to the upper trunnion is a disk 32 having a serrated top face adapted to be engaged by a complementary face on a collar 33 free on the trunnion, this collar being pressed against the disk by a coiled spring. Formed on the ring 23, adjacent the top bearing element 26, is a lug 35, while a rigid finger 36 projects from the collar 33 and is adapted to engage this lug.

With this construction, when the mirror is moved to extended position, the cord 29 tightens, pulling on the arm 28 and swinging the mirror until the finger 36 contacts with lug 35. By rotatively adjusting collar 33 the mirror can be caused to assume any desired angle. The cord 29 may be secured by knotting to the eye 30 so that the dis tance to which the mirror will extend from the wall may be varied.

The mirror may also be arranged to tilt slightly, by changing the position of the lugs 20 on the arcuate rod 21, without affecting the above operation.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows:

1. In combination, a mirror, trunnions thereon, a frame-ring in which said trunnions are engaged, a lazy-tongs device supporting said frame-ring, a support for said lazy-tongs device, an arm; fixed to one of said trunnions, a cord attached at one end to said arm and at its opposite end to said support and an adjustable stop element adapted to limit swinging movement of said arm.

2. In combination, a mirror, trunnions thereon, a frame-ring in which said trunnions are engaged, a lazy-tongs device supporting said frame-ring, a support for said lazy-tongs device, an arm fixed to one of said trunnions, a cord attached at one end to said arm and at its opposite end to said support, and an adjustable stop element adapted to limit swinging movement of said arm, said stop element comprising a serrated disk fixed to the other trunnion, aserrated oollar sidab-le on said last trunnion, a finger fixed to said collar and a slug on said ring-frame.

3. In combination, a 'Inirror, trunnions thereon, a frame-ring, in which said trunnions are engaged, a lazy-tongs device supporting said frame-ring, a support forsaid lazy-tongs device, an arm fixed to one-of said trunnions, a cord attached at one end arm, said stop element comprising a serrated disk fixed to the other trunnion, a serrated collar slidable on said last trunnion, a finger fixed to said collar and a lug on saidringframe, and aspring urging said collar toward said disk.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature. 1

JOHN URBAN.
